Question for you. When searching for my previous posts, how far back, date-wise, can you go?
For example, when I look under My Posts, the earliest it goes to is 2009. And I’ve been here way longer than that, and have made posts previous to that. So where did all those posts go?
when you click on "My Posts" it only shows you your last 500 posts.
as far as i know the reason is that when you click on "all posts" its actually performing a search and searches return a maximum of 500 results, so that's why it only shows up to 500. This is because a lot searches can make the server really slow. as we have members who have 50,000 posts. so i guess they limited the search results to 500 so that gs can run effectively.
saying that it doesnot mean that a post or thread you made in 2003 has been deleted. it is still there so if you know the title of it or know any specific words in it then you can search for it and it will show up.
